Fortysomething has definitely worked super hard for these bonuses and side hustles, and as a family we have worked hard to stay on course with our debt repayment plan.

I don&#39;t feel too weird about the gift. It&#39;s from a family member who randomly does this sort of thing every now and then. We will definitely pay it forward in the future.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182621497227039739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533358568323581024.post-18751178118649416362018-06-17T11:36:56.682-07:002018-06-17T11:36:56.682-07:00Thank you, Penny!

Yes, luck plays into it, but honestly, it is your wise choices that are making the difference.

That doesn&#39;t mean you shouldn&#39;t enjoy, celebrate, and use luck when it shows up! I think it&#39;s awesome that you got several windfalls and that you&#39;re using them to strengthen your long-term financial position. The only one of these you could *maybe* feel weird about is the family gift. If you really feel weird about it, then record the amount, and when you&#39;re in a stronger financial position, either repay the person who sent it, or pay it forward to someone else in need. (I don&#39;t think you *should* necessarily do this, but you could if you wanted to.)C@thesingledollarhttp://thesingledollar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533358568323581024.post-21545362496314172632018-06-09T18:40:30.743-07:002018-06-09T18:40:30.743-07:00Yes, there&#39;s privilege here.

Not only do you know what to do with your windfalls (huzzah!), but you earned them! Holy moly, you are on a roll! I am so happy for you and so inspired by you.
